Orlando decided to provide another installment from the sometimes wacky world of collecting. If you thought the stories from the first article were bizarre, wait
until you read these three from the past few months! Keep in mind, they are all based on real events.

PSA SET REGISTRYSM SPOTLIGHT

Vintagegolfcards - The Number One Current Finest 1927 Churchman Famous Golfers Large Set
Even though this is one of the smallest sets ever recognized in the annual PSA Set Registry awards, its importance cannot be denied. Featuring important cards of
golf legends Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones, this 12-card set remains popular amongst collectors. The classic images, combined with their relative scarcity, make the
set one of golf's best. This particular set has a GPA of 7.88, nearly 1.5 grade points higher than the closest competitor in the category, and not too far from the
Finest Possible Set Rating of 7.92.

Answer:
The T206 Eddie Plank is the second most valuable card in the T206 set, behind the legendary Honus Wagner card.
What most people don't realize is just how scarce this card is. The most prevalent theory behind the scarcity is that the printing plate broke
during the manufacturing process, leaving many copies out of circulation since they didn't pass quality control. The truth is no one knows for sure. While it
is not quite as scarce as the Wagner, it can be almost as difficult to find. There are certainly more mid-to-high quality examples known than there are of the
Wagner (most of the known Wagners grade below a PSA VG 3). Like Wagner, Plank is a Hall of Famer, so that fact adds even more to the appeal of the card.
